Murrhee Road over Little St. Mary's RiverFlorida

This project included an evaluation of the existing bridge for replacement or repair. Due to the age of the bridge, and the timber piling, replacement was the only option.

The bridge was constructed on a horizontal curve, however, in order to minimize costs, the structure was constructed as a rectangle and the curve was striped onto the deck. While this required a slight more concrete deck, the ease of construction more than offset the cost of curved layout and formwork.

This bridge was constructed over water and met FDOT requirements. While it was not the only access to a number of residences, the only available detour route was approximately 20 miles further, so access was maintained through the entire construction process by phasing of the bridge elements.
